A Rare Case of Abdominal Lump Presenting as Ovarian Leomyoma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor that most commonly affects the uterus, cervix and broad ligaments in women of reproductive age group. Primary leiomyoma of the ovary is a very rare that accounts for 0.5 to 1% of all benign ovarian tumors with only an approximate 70 cases reported in the literature.1,2,3 Ovarian leiomyomas are particularly unilateral and small, and they most commonly occur in women aged 20–65 years.4,5 . The majority of these tumours are discovered incidentally, with about 80% of the cases occurring in premenopausal women. Patients are usually asymptomatic, and the tumour is most commonly diagnosed unintentionally by histological examination of ovarian tissue after an ovarian excision of solid mass.4,5 .
